Hi Everyone,
Its been some time since i've taken my photograhy seriously. About 7 years ago i purchased a pentax mz50 film camera and found it very easy to use and provided me with some great photos. I used it for several years until the digital convenience kicked in and i puchased a compact with is killing me when using it.
As i am a dedicated fisho, I would like to get a quality digital camera for fishing and general use.
I spoke breifly with a guy at paxtons and he said i can use my old lens and just buy the head of a digital SLR.
So i guess my questions are:
1. Am i better off just buying the head unit and saving the dollars?
2. Which head unit should i purchase? (Bearing in mind dollars are a little tight at the moment!)
Typically i'm looking for something that will give me a quick shutter sheet but i don't need multi shot speed and shutter time / app control.
Most features beyond that are to far beyond my capabilities. I'd also like something that will take good shots on the water with a polarizing lens.
I should also tell you i have the sigma 28-80 and 100-300 mm lenses.
Thanks for any assistance any one can offer.
